NEW ORLEANS, 



With the month of June conies the 

 ^uli season of the year, and outside 

 <)f :i few weddings sind some funeral 

 ord' rs there is little business. All the 

 niaiivets are at a standstill and many 

 florists have ceased going to them till 

 earlv in the fall. A little recreation 

 Yyill be a necessity and the local so- 

 viet v is contemplating an outing or a 

 dinner, to celebrate its organization 

 and the election of the new officers for 

 the next year. 



At)cle Bros, are the originators of a 

 jew fei'n of the nephrolepis family, a 

 sport of the well known Barrowsii. 

 The ends of the fronds are finely di- 

 vidfil into five or six and form quite 

 a distinct variety, which remains true, 

 sincf the firm has had it for over two 

 years. It is without doubt a good 

 acquisition. They report a fine lot of 

 carnations and pot plants. This is 

 surely something unusual down here at 

 this time of the year. 



R. Eichling, with U. J. Virgin, says 

 his aster crop is ahead of last year. 

 The culture of this plant has so far 

 been quite uncertain in New Orleans, 

 and fair success has often been fol- 

 lowed by failure. 



B. M. Wichers, of Gretna, the fern 

 specialist, always has an eye open to 

 new ])roductions. His last one is the 

 rearintj of a kind of turtle which 

 abounds in the lagoon around New Or- 

 leans and is relished by epicures and 

 in demand in different markets. He 

 seems satisfied with his new enterprise. 

 In fact, some florists give attention, 

 as a side line, to dogs, chickens, gold- 

 fish, etc., and we do not see why the 

 terrajiin business should not be as good. 

 We liave even heard that someone in 

 the craft is contemplating the starting 

 of a lizard-egg hatchery. 



J. L'. Quinette, long established across 

 the river as a nurseryman, has moved 

 his store in town from Carondelet 

 street to 727 Common street. The loca- 

 tion is more central and a better one 

 for bis increasing trade. He intends 

 to start a cut flower business in the 

 near future. 



Frtil Dumoy and John O'Doberts 

 made application to be received as mem- 

 bers of the New Orleans Horticultural 

 Society. M. M. L. 



PLANT FOR NAME.

Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? 



= INSTALL 



A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. 



Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N. V., voluntarily writes:— 



" I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you 

 last fall Is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare 

 my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of 

 this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than 

 the winter before. 



" There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform 

 heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that my 

 Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so 

 uniform at all times. 



" My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my 

 attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine." 



Are not facts like these worth an 

 investigation ?

fireeohoose Heating. 



The Review is glad to answer in this 

 department any inquiries concerning the 

 heating of greenhouses. Give all the 

 facts. 



YOKING BOILEBS. 



Kindly give me information as to the 

 best way to pipe my new houses, and 

 also the best way to hitch my two boil- 

 ers, so that they may be used either as 

 a battery or independently. The boilers 

 are of the locomotive type, seventy 

 horse-power each. The boiler pit is in 

 the middle of the range, and is suffi- 

 ciently low. The two new houses run 

 east and west, and are 27x200 feet each. 

 They have forty inches of glass on the 

 sides and gables. We will use 20x20 

 double strength A glass. 



Please state how large a discharge 

 pipe I need to heat with steam in the 

 coldest weather, which in this part of 

 Montana is 20 degrees below zero only 

 for a day or two at a time; also how 

 many li/i-inch returns are required. 

 There will be eight 5-foot cement 

 benches in the two houses. The boilers 

 are in the center, on the south side of 

 these two houses. There will be a di- 

 vision walk in the center of the houses, 

 running crosswise. The houses are for 

 carnations. M. N. C. 



WBITK TO 



The question does not state clearly 

 whether there are more than two houses, 

 but from the size of the boilers it is 

 inferred that there are several others. 



If the boilers are side by side, all that 

 is necessary is to run up a 4-inch pipe 

 from each and at some convenient point 

 connect them to a o-inch main, from 

 which the other feed pipes can be taken. 

 The main return should be 2%-inch, 

 with a 2-inch connection to each boiler. 

 Between the boilers and the main pipes 

 there should be gate valves on both

BOILER AND PIPING. 



I shall be thankful to you if you 

 will be so kind as to give me some 

 information concerning the proper heat- 

 ing of a greenhouse, 20x75, running 

 north and south, with the boiler house 

 at the south end. The walls are four 

 feet ten inches high, with two feet of 

 glass. How much radiation and how 

 large a boiler will I need? How would 

 a sectional water boiler do, or a sec- 

 tional round boiler? Which would you 

 prefer? Please give me some idea about
